1、Cats at Car-wash 难点分析：2011年武汉市初中四月调考英语试题阅读理解A篇 (2011-05-03 21:55:55) 标签： 教育 A My father is very careful with money. He hates spending it on anything he doesnt think that we really need. I always wanted a cat of my own, but he wouldnt buy one for me. When we walked past the local pet shop, I saw some
2、 cute little kitten in a cage and I asked my father to buy one for me. He shook his head, and said, “Look at the price, son! $100 each! We cant afford to spend that much money on a cat.” On the way home, we drove past the local car wash and there was a big new sign outside.Free kitten with every car
3、 wash “Look at that, dad!” I said eagerly to my father. “Now we can have a free kitten.” My father replied. “Its no free at all, Paul. I have to spend $30 on a car wash to get you that kitten. I never go to the car wash. Its a waste of money. Whenever it rains, the rainwater washes our car for free.
4、 Why would I spend $30 when I can have it cleaned for nothing?” Well, the days went by and it didnt rain. Then the weeks went by without a cloud in the sky. Dad looked at the weather forecast every evening on the television, but there was no rain expected at all. Our car was covered in dust and dirt
5、 and my mother said, “You take that car to the car wash. Im not getting into it again until you do.” My father had no choice, he had to spend $30 at the car wash. When we got there the sign was gone, and in its place was a new one:Take a cat. Get a free car wash Dad looked at me and I smiled. So my

9、st title of the passage should be_.A. Father and Son B. Husband and Wife C. Cats at Car-wash D. Sign at Car-wash 参考答案：56-60 CDBBC分析：56题，问儿子Paul得到他想要的猫的原因，这是一个细节题，信息在文章最后结尾处，因为洗车行免费赠送活动而得到猫。 57题，问从文中我们能够理解到什么，这是一个归纳推断题，需逐项分析。A，父亲对儿子很严厉；B，母亲想帮儿子得到猫；C，父亲没能得到免费洗车；D，儿子没花钱就梦想成真。我们逐项推理：我们知道父亲不舍得花钱，所以不愿给儿子买
10、猫，但没有其他信息支持严厉这个观点，所以能够排除A项。母亲催促父亲去洗车是因为嫌车脏，对猫的事并不知情，而且没有任何信息说明母亲是要帮儿子促成买猫，虽然后来客观上促成了这件事，但并非她的本意和目的，完全能够排除B项。C项和D项上有争议，有局部学生认为最后“Take a cat. Get a free car wash.”中的take是买的意思，那么应该选C。另一局部学生认为，take就是抱走的意思，没有付钱的意思，所以应该选D。这是个关键问题，我们放在最后讨论。 58题，问洗车行第二次出的告示说明什么，这是一个典型的归纳推断题，我们同样需要逐项分析。A，当地的洗车费用太高；B，洗车行老板就是要
11、人们抱走猫；C，老板很擅长卖猫；D，第一次老板的告示开价不合理。这道题四项皆有人选。有同学选A，理由是因为费用高，所以没人来洗车也就没人要猫。选B的同学局部理由是，第二次告示就是说要你抱走猫啊，跟上一题支持后一种观点的人群相同，能够说很直接，take 就是take；选C的同学认为老板用猫来促销，很聪明；选D的同学认为第一次30元洗车送猫跟第二次相比，确实开价太高不合理。要分析这题，任然是刚刚那个关键问题，即猫是卖的还是送的。 59题，问妈妈不愿意进车地原因，这是个细节题，信息点比较清楚：“Our car was covered in dust and dirt and my mother sa
12、id, You take that car to the car wash. Im not getting into it again until you do. ”，选B没有很强的干扰。 60题，问文章的最正确标题，这是主旨大意题。争议主要集中在C、D两项上。C，洗车行的猫； D，洗车行的两个告示。误选D的同学注意到了不同时间的两个告示起到的重要作用，不过没有注意到文章从开始就围绕着Paul想要得到猫来展开，父子俩偶然地在洗车行发现与猫相关的告示，通过告示的变化，Paul最终得到了猫这样一个故事，实际上谈的是猫，而且重头戏是围绕洗车行展开，所以选C项。 好，我们现在集中讨论究竟第二个告示是要
13、顾客免费抱走猫再送洗车，还是卖猫送免费洗车呢？很多同学认为，猫在宠物店卖100元，洗车行假如送猫送洗车岂不是赔本的买卖，怎么会这么傻呢？所以肯定是卖猫。认为猫是免费送的的同学也有相当一局部是没有多加思考，而直接从take的表层义上理解而非深层理解的。实际上，我们能够有这样几个思考：第一，为什么洗车行老板要用猫来作为促销而不是其他物品？非生命物体作促销不是更方便吗？第二，为什么第一个告示说送小猫咪，到第二个告示时就变成了大猫了？只有一个推论：老板家猫患，猫崽太多了，不好养要送人，本打算洗车就送，算是顺水人情，结果送不出去，大家都怕养起来麻烦，小猫咪都变成大猫了还送不出去，只好用免费洗车来促销送猫。那么我们又有新的问题，干嘛要自己掏钱给人免费洗车来送猫呢，多的丢掉不就能够了吗？这就涉及到一个文化差异(culture gap)的问题。国外绝大局部人不会遗弃宠物，因为他们视宠物为家人，即便养不活也要交给放心的人养。这样我们就很好理解了。我们看下面这个从国外网站上截下的图文来作一个参考吧：
